Title: Improvements in Combined Domestic Firegrates and Boilers.
IPC: F24B1/183
Filed: 1910-06-25
Granted: 1911-04-06
Abstract: 15,203. Parker, Winder, & Achurch, and Froggatt, W. June 25. Open fire-places. -A boiler 1 is arranged in contact with the lower part of the rear of the fireback in a flue 3, so that it is not in contact with the fire or visible from the front, and dampers 7, 10, operated in conjunction with the canopy 14, regulate the flow of combustion products. With the dampers in the position shown in Fig. 1, the smoke &c. passes only up the front of the fire-back. To heat the boiler, the canopy is pushed in, closing the centrally-pivoted damper 10 by a link 13, and opening the sliding damper 7 by means of the rod 9 attaching it to the top of the damper 10. The smoke &c. now passes entirely up the back flue and behind the boiler.

Abstract: 19,261. Blondin, J. A. Aug. 16. Aerial machines without aerostats; adapted to travel also on land; shock of landing, deadening.-In a flying-machine having landing- skids and front and rear wheels, the front wheels are adjustable vertically relatively to the skids, so that the machine can rest on the wheels at starting. The skid member f is built up of triangular trussed beams extending longitudinally. of the machine, and carries the body F to which are secured the main supporting-planes A, B. At the rear of the skid is a supplemental supporting-plane M, and a steering-wheel 46 upon the post of the rudder H; and towards the front is a pair of wheels 25 carried by a triangular frame 26 which can be moved vertically. The frame is connected to the skid by pivoted links 27, and the upper end is connected to a shaft 28 passing through braces 30, 31 within the body F. The upper end of the shaft 28 is formed with a screw-thread on which is mounted a hand-wheel 33. At starting, the frame 26 is depressed so that the wheels 25 raise the skids off the ground and elevate the forward end of the machine. The wheels are retracted during the flight, so that the machine alights on the skids. Steering.-The machine is provided with a front elevator G, and a rear rudder H, which is located below the level of the centre of gravity of the machine. According to the Provisional Specification, the plane M may be adjustable.

Granted: 1911-08-17
Abstract: 25,203. Gilbert, T. Oct. 29. Speed-indicator transmission mechanism consists of a friction wheel running on the road and provided with an elastic rim which is capable of adjustment to allow for wear. The wheel comprises a disk A provided with a screwed sleeve a mounted on a shaft B. Carried between the disk and a ring E are the rubber rim G and the expanding wooden blocks H, the ring and disk being secured by bolts F, bushes f<1> serving to limit the compression between the ring and the plate. The blocks H are slotted at h and recessed at h<1>. Between the blocks H and the rubber rim is placed a metal spring ring g, obliquely divided. The blocks Hare inclined at h<2> to form a conical recess into which protrudes a conical expander J mounted on the screwed sleeve a, the expander being formed in two parts secured by bolts j<2> which are loosened before rotating the part J. The movement of the blocks may be rendered automatic by connecting an arm j<3> on the part J by a link k to a lever K bearing upon one of the road wheels. To prevent creeping of the tyre, small studs a', carried by the plate A project into radial grooves g<1> in the tyre. One method of mounting the device is shown in Fig. 4, the shaft B being carried in a fork C moving in a tube D against a spring C<1> which forces the wheel on to the roadway or the like. Specification 18,517/08 is referred to.

Abstract: 24,972. Harrison, G., [Schember & Sohne, C., and Michel, A.]. Nov. 9. Relieving-mechanism.-Relates to mechanism for relieving the weighing-parts of platformmachines, and comprises arrangements whereby the operations of placing in gear and relieving the weighing-mechanism are facilitated. The fulcrum of the transfer lever 4, Fig. 1, to which the weighing - levers are connected, is supported on the end of a lever 5 attached by a rod 6 to a pivoted lever 2. A weight 3 slides on the lever 2. With the lever in the upper dotted position, the weighing-levers are in the relieved position and the platform 1 rests on fixed supports. By depressing the lever 2 to the horizontal position, the loose movement of the weighing-levers is taken up, whereupon by traversing the weight 3 to the position shown by full lines the platform is raised into the weighing position. The lever 2 is retained by a catch and the weighing operation is performed by means of the steelyard 8. In a modification for weighing railway vehicles wherein the platform is raised so as to engage the wheels and lift them from the.track, the arrangement shown in Fig. 2 is used. The lever 12 with its sliding weight 3 carries a drum 17 by rotating which the loose movement of the weighing-levers may be taken up. The drum is connected by a rope or chain 16 to a lever 15, which by means of rods 23, 21 and levers 19 raises the fulcrums of the transfer lever 14 and of the weighing- levers (not shown) whereon the platform rests. The levers 19 and connexions 21 may be dispensed with.

Abstract: 2306. Royston, E. R., [Electro-Chemical Rubber and Manufacturing Co.]. May 12, 1911. India-rubber, attaching to metal.-Rubber is attached to alloys containing one of the antimony groups of metals by vulcanizing it while in contact with the alloy, and to other metals, by coating them, for instance, by electroplating with an alloy containing antimony, and vulcanizing the rubber while in contact with this coating. The alloy preferred consists of 3“ lb. of copper, 1¥ lb of zinc, and 3 oz. of antimony. For plating, the bath may be made up of 10 oz. of sodium carbonate, 10 oz. of sodium bisulphide, 3¢ oz. of copper carbonate, 3¢ oz. of zinc carbonate, ¢ oz. of antimony chloride, 320 oz. of water, and sufficient potassium cyanide to dissolve the precipitate; or a ' transfer ' solution ' consisting of 14¥ oz. sodium bisulphide, 9¢ oz. of ammonium chloride, 2¢ oz. of potassium cyanide, and 10 quarts of water may be used. The anode consists of an alloy as described above. To prevent precipitation of the antimony, the electrolyte may be made as follows:-An alloy containing 60 parts of copper, 38 parts of zinc, and 2 parts of antimony is dissolved in nitric acid, diluted with water until the solution contains 2 oz. of alloy to half a gallon, and neutralized with ammonia. Sufficient potassium cyanide is added to turn the colour of the solution from blue to a light yellow, and the solution is diluted until 1 gallon contains 1 oz. of alloy. Another solution containing no antimony is prepared in a similar manner and is used as a diluent of the former. The article is plated at a potential of 2-3¢ volts, the distance between the electrodes being about 10 cm. The amount of antimony deposited is varied according to the quantity of antimony sulphide contained in the rubber either by reducing the voltage or by decreasing the amount of antimony in the cathode. If the article to be coated consists of an alloy of copper and zinc, it may be plated with antimony alone.
